The two biggest bats on the market, outfielder Alfonso Soriano of the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada, apparently are staying put. Neither slugger, despite interest by several teams, was traded before Monday's 1 p.m. non-waiver deadline.

The trade deadline has officially passed and the commissioner's office is releasing the results, which will be tricking out over the next hour or so. The big news on a rather dull day for trades is the Chicago Cubs dealing Greg Maddux to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who also acquired shortstop Julio Lugo from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Other trades:

The New York Mets get: pitchers Roberto Hernandez and Oliver Perez from the Pittsburgh Pirates for outfielder Xaiver Nady;

The Texas Rangers get: OF/1B/DH Matt Stairs from the Kansas City Royals for Triple-A reliever Joselo Diaz;

The San Diego Padres get: 2B Todd Walker, who will play 3B for the Pads, for 19-year-old pitcher Jose Cerda, who goes to the Cubs;

The Colorado Rockies get: pitchers Jeremy Affeldt and Denny Bautista from the Kansas City Royals for 1B Ryan Shealy and pitcher Scott Dohmann;

The Rangers get pitcher Kip Wells from the Pirates for Jesse Chavez;

The St. Louis Cardinals get pitcher Jorge Sosa from the Atlanta Braves for pitcher Rich Scalamandre;

The Yankees get OF/1B Craig Wilson from the Pirates for pitcher Shawn Chacon.

The Cincinnati Reds continue to fortify their pitching staff with a pair of trades on Monday just before the trading deadline of 1 p.m.

The Reds acquired 39-year-old left-handed reliever Rheal Cormier (2-2, 1.59 ERA) from the Philadelphia Phillies and disappointing right-hander Kyle Lohse (2-5, 7.07) from the Minnesota Twins. Both came relatively cheap, costing Cincinnati pitchers Justin Germano and minor leaguer Zach Ward.

Also, the Detroit Tigers received veteran first baseman Sean Casey from the Pittsburgh Pirates for minor league pitcher Brian Rogers. Casey, a career .304 hitter, is hitting .296 after being hurt for a good portion of the year with a back injury.

At 1 p.m. Pacific time today, baseball's non-waiver trade deadline expires. Expect some deals to go down, and quite possibly some that could shape the American League West for the next two months.

The Mariners have added some offense with the recent additions of Ben Broussard and Eduardo Perez. They're still a little short in the starting pitching category, but then again, so are most teams. It seems unlikely they would be able to pull anything off for a starter at this stage.

The A's and Angels have decent rotations but are lacking offense. Both are linked to the biggest bats in the rumor mill. The Angels have tried to land Baltimore shortstop Miguel Tejada and are in the running for Washington outfielder Alfonso Soriano. An Internet report on Monday said the A's are making an 11th hour move for Soriano, who could also be spun off to a third team. (A's GM Billy Beane is known for these types of deals, so don't put anything past him).

The Rangers made a move on Friday, and a curious one at that. They picked up slugging outfielder Carlos Lee from Milwaukee and weakened their bullpen in the process, sending former closer Francisco Cordero to the Brewers. Look for Texas to try and acquire a reliever and possibly a starting pitcher if they can.

Keep checking the blog for updates, I'll post if something goes down.
